Profitability returns after a volatile year

• Over the last 12 months, DeFi Technologies moved from losses in 2024, including a net loss of about US$27.2 million in Q4 2024, to trailing twelve month net income of around US$8.6 million, with Basic EPS over the same trailing period at roughly US$0.03.
• What stands out for the bullish narrative is that this return to profit lines up with the company’s track record of around 24.6% yearly earnings growth over five years. However:
  • Trailing twelve month net income of about US$8.6 million is still modest relative to the bullish view that earnings could reach US$293.1 million over several years.
  • The shift from a Q4 2024 net loss of about US$94.8 million to Q3 2025 net income of roughly US$4.0 million strongly supports the idea that the business model can produce earnings, but also highlights how sensitive those earnings have been to conditions in digital assets.

Bulls argue that this kind of earnings turnaround is the early stage of a much bigger profit story, and the dedicated bullish narrative sets out how that could play out. 🐂 DeFi Technologies Bull Case

P/E of 33.1x sets a high bar

• The shares trade on a trailing P/E of 33.1x, compared with around 6.1x for peers and 8.5x for the wider Canadian Capital Markets industry, so investors are currently paying several times more for each dollar of earnings than is typical for similar companies.
• Bears focus on this valuation gap and argue it is hard to justify given the recent earnings history:
  • Trailing twelve month EPS of about US$0.03 and net income of roughly US$8.6 million are coming off a period that included a Q4 2024 loss of about US$94.8 million, which keeps the earnings base relatively small against the price being asked.
  • With the current share price at about CA$1.03 and the analyst consensus target at CA$5.40, there is a wide spread that the bearish view treats cautiously, especially given that the stock’s P/E already sits well above industry levels.

Skeptics point to this rich multiple and volatile past profits as core reasons to stress test any bullish story around the stock by reviewing the full cautious case. 🐻 DeFi Technologies Bear Case

Quarterly swings keep risk firmly on the table

• Quarterly net income has moved from a loss of about US$6.1 million in Q2 2024 to income of roughly US$15.4 million in Q3 2024, a loss of around US$1.3 million in Q2 2025, and back to income of about US$4.0 million in Q3 2025, with EPS moving between a loss of roughly US$0.02 and a profit of US$0.09 in that period.
• Critics highlight that this choppy pattern in the numbers sits alongside other risks flagged in the data:
  • Shareholders have experienced dilution over the past year, so each share now represents a smaller slice of the company compared with before.
  • The share price has also been more volatile than the broader Canadian market over the last three months, which lines up with the uneven quarterly earnings and the company’s close link to crypto market cycles.
